The teen in question turned around so see a whirl of pink and blue heading straight for him. In the blink of an eye the filly was standing right to next him, staring up with wide grin.
Lokie gave a small smile as he said softly, “ Oh….uh, hey, Twinkle.”
“What are you up to?” Twinkle yelled in his face, unaware of how loud she was.
Lokie winced. “ Uh….I’m just going to go see Pansy.”
The filly gasped in long and loudly, until it seemed impossible for her to inhale any more air. Suddenly, she let it all out as she screamed excitedly, “ NO WAY!!!! So am I! Well, actually, I’m going to go see Eclipse. Can I have a ride there? Oh please oh please oh please oh please!?”
Lokie looked down unsuredly at her little pleading puppy eyes. After a moment, he said hesitatingly, “I….guess…”
Before he could rethink his decision, Lokie felt Twinkle scramble on top of his back, trying to find her footing. After a moment of fumbling, Twinkle stood firmly on his shoulders and leaning all her wait on his head, thrust out a hoof and exclaimed, “Onward, mighty stead!”

“Uh….Twinkle. I…can’t really see with your hoof on my head. Can you possibly…”
“Oh…hehe, sorry,” Twinkle chuckled sheepishly, quickly settling into a sitting position.
Lokie turned his head and gave her a small smile, saying, “Thank you”
As the stallion began to trot slowly, Twinkle whined, “Can’t you go any faster?”
“ I don’t think I can with you on my back,” Lokie replied.
Twinkle crossed her arms. “ What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It’s just that, I’d get easily tired trying to run in this heat,” he said, hoping it would be enough to satisfy her.
Twinkle huffed, “ Fine. It least all this walking will give me a chance to tell you what happens this morning! Now, Carmel will say it’s my fault, but really, I think our timer is broken. I didn’t hear it all with my headphones one! Carmel wasn’t to happy about that-“
